Tomorrow is the day I switch from a 2017 Sea-doo RXT 300 to a 2015 Yamaha sx190. Right now I am in euphoria! My wife and I just had our first born two months ago. I wanted to keep my adrenaline rush 300 horsepower jet ski, but I felt I would get funny looks on the lake with my wife baby wearing on the back :p(joking). After a decent amount of searching I found the sx190 to best fit my needs for right now as a family. So! For a little while, I will be the newest boat owning member on the site. I guarantee I will have normal newbie questions ( I will use the search button first;)), but cant wait to be part of this community! [flag]

THAT is JUST FANTASTIC, wise choice! :winkingthumbsup" Congrats on the new addition,....ohh and congrats on the SX190, we love ours had her out today in some really choppy waters and she performed perfectly! Got to tell everyone that the addition of the CJS Viper's with mega fangs has been a great improvement overall, she is so much more responsive underway and goes where you point her! Thanks @Cobra Jet Steering LLC ! :Welcome: If you need any help on how to spend YOUR money just start a thread, We ARE here for YOU!;)

Congrats!!! The rain is part of the boat Gods praising you on your new purchase. It comes with any boat purchase. It will rain on the days you want to go hit the lake and not rain on sunny clear sky days when you're stuck at work. :D

Where do you guys buy all your accessories? The boat already has a lowrance elite 5 w/chirp, and cobra jet steering. What else do you guys find worth buying?

Depends on if you boat in a lake or a river. I boat in a river so a keel guard was a must have. I like to play the radio so I added a second battery and a new switch. I also added a new head unit and speakers, and added a couple of USB ports for charging phones. And while I would like to pick up some sea deck, I really can’t justify it with the carpet being in such good shape. I also picked up a new bow roller for the trailer. I have picked up a lot of stuff off amazon, but I also shopped around the internet to find the best prices.

Congrats on the new addition to the family..........and the new baby. You must be a very meticulous person to perfectly plan the “delivery” of your child around the boating season. Very impressive. ;)

@Julian has a nice usb install post. I liked so much that in addition to the boat I put on the truck too.

Not sure you want the second battery on the head area. You never want part your body might touch the red terminal while you are holding from some metallic railing :eek:
